Sainte Supery Sauvignon Blanc, Napa
we just discovered this incredible sauvignon blanc and were literally blown away – first by its brilliant hues of light yellow speared by vibrant streaks of green, and then by its aromas of exotic grapefruit and green lime. robust flavors of ruby grapefruit, kiwi and guava followed, with a stunningly crisp finish. this one is great not only with mild cheeses and fish, but is an absolute killer with our boldly flavored thai dishes

Kendall Jackson Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay, Sonoma
this is a fresh and lively chardonnay that's largely fruit-driven with just a trace of oak. it's got great balance and plenty of clean, ripe citrus and tropical fruit flavor. it's a very popular choice at the mingo because it's terrific with asian-influenced dishes, but if you've tired of this one and are looking for something new, try raymond's napa reserve for a delightful change of pace

Marques de Caceres Crianza, Spain
Forced to flee Spain during the Spanish Civil War, the Forner family established it's sterling reputation as vintners at two of the finest properties across the border in Bordeaux, Chateau Camensac and Chateau Larose-Trintaudon. Upon the family's return to Spain following the death of Generalissimo Franco, and armed with classical French wine making talents, Henri Forner established the Marques de Caceres bodega in Spain's finest viticulture area, Cenicero in Rioja Alta, where the family began to produce some of Spain's very best Crianza. This remarkable Crianza is made with a tantalizing blend of grapes - 85% Tempranillo and 15% Garnacha Tinta and Graciano. It is a deep ruby red color with fresh notes of red berries on the nose that are enriched by an earthly depth of vanilla and sweet spice. Clean and lively on tasting with ripe tannins that blend with balanced structure, it is full and fleshy in the mouth with an unending array of delicious flavors where mature tannins melt into a structure of near perfect harmony. A remarkable wine at a remarkable price.

The Blue Mingo Grill and its creative grill cuisine came into its own in 1994, when its predecessor, Dot's Landing, could no longer keep up with the local mariners' demands for some good, wholesome, nourishing food that was representative of the forward-thinking Boatyard establishment. The Grill quickly became known, both locally and abroad, for its fresh, innovative menus, its savvy sophisticated clientele, and the breathtaking views -- both by day and by night, in the rain or under the sun -- of the Lake and surrounding hillsides.
The primary importance in developing a dish is to use only ingredients that are completely fresh. From local herb and vegetable gardens -- for the most part from those owned by the Moffats -- and an organic green patch on the Boatyard property, as well as from a variety of local farmers, daily fresh produce is the Mantra of the Mingo.
